hi has anyone tried changing to larger rotor cross drilled with out changing the stock calipers??


thanks

 

I don't think any decent ones are available yet. Zechausen Racing will ultimatley get them, but they don't have them yet.

 

yes i have had the dics changed on m E60 a few months back, ive had uprated BLACK DIAMOND Cross drilled and Grooved dics front and rear, while using my stock pads and claipers for now, once my pads have been kaned then i will install fast road mintex pads, which in turn give that little bit more braking ease.

Watch out though, they do make your wheels considerably dirtier then they would on stocks, but hey i love washing, cleaning, polishing my E60 , so i dont mind, i give the car a good wash atleast once a week, however as you can see in the image (its been raing here for exactl 11 days consectively) the wheels are reasonably clean, or atleast they appear clean.

Take a look and hope this info helps, let me if you want to know who how i got them fitted, plus they enchance the cars looks especially with big wheels.

IM Hvaing probs putting these images on for some reason, the size seems to be small enough though.....

 

hers the pic i couldnt get up yesterday

 

you cannot change the size of the rotor without changing the caliper.. when still using the stock caliper you have to use the same size rotor if your trying to cahnge to a different one (ex. Sloted/drilled) This is why they make stock replacment rotors as when bying larger rotors they are usally sold with calipers because when rotor size changes calipers have to as well..however if the cahnge in size isn't that much (for instance a couple mm) you can still use the stock calipers but with only such a small mm size cahnge you will not notice any difference.. thus haveing the look of a bigger rotor at least noticably you will need to change the stock caliper

 

yeh, thats correct,

you can change the pads, they help slow down better

 

No
